Cymbopogon citratus and Lippia multiflora essential oils as alternative repellent to DEET against Anopheles gambiae s.l. in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
Hamadou Konaté, Moussa Namountougou, Miriam Félicité Amara, Mahamoudou Balboné, Souleymane Gnissi, Kouamé Wilfred Ulrich Kouadio, Aboubacar Karabinta, Abdoul Azize Millogo & Olivier Gnankiné
Personal protective tools, such as repellents, play a vital role in preventing mosquito-borne disease
transmission. Although N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), a synthetic repellent, is effective against
insects, it may cause allergic reactions. Therefore, there is a need to explore effective alternative
repellents exhibiting fewer side eff(...)

Abstract
Background: Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes significant illness worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Poor sanitation, limited healthcare, and rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worsen its impact on children under five. This study estimated the incidence and described AMR patterns of NTS among children under five in(...)

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by begomoviruses such as African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) and East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV), poses a threat to food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Conventional PCR assays often fail to detect viral strains in symptomatic plants due to high genetic variability and recombination. In this study(...)

Insect visitors of green fruits of Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) and their potential role in the plant fruiting
Zézouma Anselme Dao, Rahim Romba, Ainara Peñalver-Cruz, Pascale Satour, Bruno Jaloux, Amadé Ouédraogo, Olivier Gnankiné
Annona senegalensis is a multipurpose wild shrub mainly used for food and traditional medicine by local people in tropical African. During its fruiting period, especially at the green fruit stage, this plant harbors an important community of insects such as various ant species (Formicidae) and the planthopper Hilda undata Walker (Tettigometrid(...)

Sweet stalk sorghum is grown in Burkina Faso primarily for its grain, forage, and sugar-rich stalks. However, its productivity is heavily reliant on rainfall, and the variability in annual precipitation significantly limits its contribution to household food security. In this context, identifying droughttolerant genotypes with stable performan(...)

Evaluation of the Agronomic Performance of Cyperus Esculentus L. Genotypes Grown in West Africa
Nogueba Abraham KOMBELEME, Koussao SOME, Jacques OUEDRAOGO, Armel ROUAMBA, Pauline BATIONO/KANDO,
Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) is a cash crop that is very rich in nutrients. Knowledge of the agronomic
performance of genotypes cultivated for broad adaptation in growing environments is necessary. The
objective of this study was to identify high-performance genotypes in Burkina Faso. Thus, 42 genotypes were

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne disease primarily caused by Leishmania major in Burkina
Faso. The nasal location is atypical, and clinical forms are increasingly atypical in endemic areas. The
present report describes a case of atypical CL in a 13-year-old girl in Burkina Faso. The observed case
